Our project was done as enrichment clubs. We ran our clubs before and after school.
Steps to starting a club.
1. Pick date and time for club (find funding, our clubs were funded by the 21st centrury grant-other funding might be available)
2. Distribute flyers/permission to prospective members/students (we chose to focus on 4th-6th graders)
3. Plan several weeks in advance keeping in mind that modifications will need to be made depending on the group of students (we began with introductions into the digital equipment world, i.e., camera operating)
Responsibilities in running a club.
1. You need to have permission slips for the 'just in case' situations
2. You need the proper equipment, don't forget the batteries!!!
3. Availability
Student guiding.
1. Control is a major issue. If you properly teach each portion of digital storytelling then you should be able to let your student's create on their own. You are simply a guide, a tool for your students to refer to when assistance is needed. More often than not your students will be just fine on their own discovering and manipulating on their own.
Student Products.

2. Power Points
3. Movie presentations through 'Windows Movie Maker'
